Your heart was probably reacting to the emotions you were feeling and to be honest with you, with that much going on, your heart behaved admirably. A heart rate of 120 is not
really a concern and is easily achievable in most people, including my 15 year old son.
If I've been sitting down for a while and suddenly get up, my pulse can jump to 120 but
will then ease back down. If you had a heart rate of 200 or higher then I would be
concerned. During exercise my pulse used to jump to 186 and I felt fine. So, don't let
120 bother you.
You are really getting so many problems because you are totally stressed out. I can tell
that by the tone in your letter. When you are stressed, you get high blood pressure. This
causes many problems long term in the body. When you are stressed your immune system is suppressed, causing you to be more likely to get infections.
When someone in a case such as yours accumulates several problems, then they tend
to start to develop anxiety over their health. They start to try and analyse every twitch,
every pain and every feeling. Having no answers for their cause makes them even more
anxious and stressed. I know that raising three children is not easy, I've done it myself
and know how stressful it is.
My advice, and I know it isn't easy, is to eat a healthy diet, stop thinking so much about
your body and enjoy each wonderful day of life. I have nearly died twice now and so I
can tell you how wonderful life really is, I used to think it was a nightmare. You need to
change your outlook on the world around you. Try to find the funny side to things, there
normally is one. Try to stay relaxed and if you feel anxious, take slow deep breaths and
calm down to train your body to be healthier. Even playing your favourite music for a
few minutes can be enough to distract your mind from the unhealthy things.
Long term stress kills, you should remember that everytime you feel wound up. We are
genetically close to gorillas and chimps, look what happens to them when they are
stressed for just a few days, most of them die. We live with stress for years and wonder
why we get so ill.
